Rangers’ Jacob deGrom reaches 2,000 strikeouts in 2nd-fewest games and innings pitched
Arlington, Texas (AP) — Jacob deGrom achieved 2,000 career strikeouts in a remarkable feat, requiring fewer games and innings pitched compared to others in Major League Baseball history. The Texas Rangers' right-hander struck out the first two batters, Daylen Lile and Abimelec Ortiz, in his 10 strikeouts during a 2-0 victory over the Washington Nationals.
DeGrom, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, displayed his precision by allowing a single and a walk to Brady House in six innings while pitching 94 pitches. The achievement was met with a standing ovation, as deGrom simply stated that he would focus on getting outs in the upcoming seasons.
